The city is small, but does have a couple of Busa's and a Harley, though I haven't seen them yet. Does maintaining an SBK is a big deal that a regular expert can't handle, given there are no major glitches?

      A preowned 600cc without a mechanic around in your town ??

      Its a Risk... May not be a risk.

      If you are buying it from a person who maintained the history of the bike as clean as possible... and you know him in personal, go get it, forget about mechanics... Small works like replacing oil filter and oil, along with airfilters... can be done by you.

      And if you buying it from totally mars... Be careful. In your particular case..dont case any risk buying it from an total unknown fellow.

        Not at all. People should keep bike papers etc discussions to PM's and mods need to sweep up the thread

                  The FZ-1 is no longer called the Fazer right..?
                  Its the R1 engined naked bike that the FZ16 is supposed to have been inspired by...

                      I've no idea about pricing man.. But my guess is somewhere around the 8-9L ex-showroom mark.

                      Hehe, can't say man. Will have to depend on the price and the economic scenario as well Would love to have the FZ1 but the MT is unchallenged in my list till date

                      • ^^ Any idea when they plan to launch it?
                        I'd rather be riding my motorcycle thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle.
                        Ride often, ride well, have fun.

                          If I ever decided to change my MT I may have considered the FZ1 a few months ago but now with the CB1000R jumping in the ring I'd go for that for the looks alone.

                          The FZ1 is great, used to be the most brutal of the litre streetfighters but it is too plain jane when compared to its contemporaries.

                          I'm not changing my MT anytime soon though :-) I've ordered the single seat kit, Akra Stage I mufflers, carbon slash cut heat shields, undertray, etc. Spent a bomb on it.
